Theplaywright and critic Norge Espinosa points out that “The main character of this maskball is Josefina Beauharnais, a Cuban woman of French descent, which comes from theeastern part of Cuba…She says she is 120 years old with 103 on her own since she was 17and left her parent’s home to try her luck in Havana, a place she never reached. Thecharacter’s conflicts fashion the suffering of a long life with hurt, pain, nostalgia andloss, but the play is also about man’s ability to live, to give density and risk to hisexistence.”
